My mom actually happens to be a property manager. I like the point you're making about learning to manage properties. Never thought about it but that is clearly a key piece of knowledge that can come in handy whenever needed. Thank you Nathan. 

Hey

Hi, my name is Andres, and I am 18 years old and live in Miami. I am currently a student at Florida International University, studying International Business. Alongside my studies, I work two minimum-wage jobs.

I've been interested in real estate for as long as I can remember. Even when I was younger, I understood that it could be a great way to achieve financial freedom, retire early, and live without the stress of money constantly hanging over my head. For the past month, I've been soaking up everything I can from the BiggerPockets podcast, and it's only fueled my excitement about real estate even more.

Right now, Im working on getting my real estate license, but Im not sure what to do after that. I know that real estate often takes a lot of capital to get started, and that's something I don't have at this stage. I've heard about wholesale real estate as a way to get started without a ton of money, but Im still trying to figure out if thats the right move for me.

I guess my goal is to figure out my next steps and get a clearer picture of how I can break into the real estate world and start building something for the future.

Thank you.
